What a lovely find for you Mike.... and a fabulous picture to boot.

Was that in Suffolk you saw him?

Thanks for your message Mike.

I've now added Suffolk to the Location details, as it's a rare visitor to our shores. The information I had previously was that they mainly visited the south coast areas, so this guy was quite a bit further north. Interesting, isn't it.

What a great first....brill shot also. Looks like he came to see the colourful hoardings behind.
